Important Considerations for Brown Sugar:
Brown sugar must be **firmly packed** into the measuring cup or spoon for these weights to be accurate. If measured loosely, the weight will be significantly less.
A common standard for packed brown sugar is **210-220 grams per US cup** (approximately 7.4-7.76 ounces).
Light brown and dark brown sugar have similar weights by volume when packed.
For best results, especially in recipes where sugar content is critical, using a kitchen scale is recommended.
